Faye and I were talking the other day about how we don't feel our age until we look in a mirror and then we're shocked. Even worse is when someone takes a close-up picture of us (like Don did and then put it on Facebook!) and we realize we're really ancient.
Age doesn't and never has mattered to me but I don't want to look like a hag, either. Wrinkles don't matter but I was hoping for more unlined skin in my old age. Grey hair doesn't matter but it should at least look neat and not windswept in pictures. Fat matters.
I've never liked having my picture taken but now I'll avoid cameras like death so don't anyone come near me with one or there will be big trouble. Leave me to a few misconceived illusions for a while yet.
